Lives and living

Do cities live different lives? 

Do they go through the tumult of human emotion as time slowly ticks by?

These walls could tell you many tales if they could speak. What tales would they be?

Would they be of the sights and sounds that no longer appear prominent? 

Of one kind of music being replaced by another? Dances that stop being danced?

The creaking sound of old shoes replaced by sneakers shuffling along?

Of aspirations growing with the expanse of the cities. Of the pace of living outstripping the speed limits of thoughts. 

Or maybe to them it's as simple as taking one costume off and putting another on. Going with the flow.

“Good we are moving. This house is so small.”, said Vivaan. He must have picked it up from our conversations. “But I will miss my friends”, he quickly added.

A History

The newness of everything had faded. Even momentary renewal would have helped. So I left. Went as far as I dared. When the scenery was just about unidentifiable, I stopped. Near a cinema. Went in and bought a ticket. Didn't know what was playing or when.
